Abstract

The biotech industry is the usual venue of new drug development, with costs estimated between $500 million and $2 billion per drug developed (Adams and Brantner, 2006). Occasionally, members of an academic medical community may choose to develop a new drug within their own institution because they are focused on an orphan disease and/or their new therapy may lack a successful financial model. The Dermatology Department at Stanford University School of Medicine has focused on creating a successful treatment for epidermolysis bullosa since 1988. Support for this process has come from philanthropy (http://www.ebkids.org) as well as federal and state funding.
